A member of the Myrtaceae family, native to Indonesia, it is a slender evergreen tree growing up to twelve metres high, it has bright green leaves standing in pairs on short stems. At the start of the rainy season long buds appear with rosy-pink corolla at the tip; as the corolla fades the calyx slowly turns deep red. These are beaten from the tree, and when dried provide cloves which are sold as a spice, ground and whole. Three types of oil are produced from the same tree; Clovebud, clove leaf and stem. Leaf and stem oil should not be used in Aromatherapy.
